Synopsis
''Few novelists match the intensity of her vision'' J. G. Ballard
No one knows why the ice has come, and no one can stop it. Every day it creeps further across the earth, covering the land in snow and freezing everything in its path. Through this bleached, devastated world, one man pursues the sylph-like, silver-haired girl he loves, as she keeps running - away from her husband; away from the sinister ''warden'' who seeks to control her; away from him.
''A raw, brutal tale set in a frozen post-nuclear dystopia ... addictive and extremely entertaining'' Guardian
''There is nothing else quite like Ice'' Doris Lessing
''She is De Quincey''s heir and Kafka''s sister'' Brian Aldiss

About the Author
Anna Kavan was one of the greatest unsung enigmas in 20th-century British literature. Born Helen Ferguson, a fraught childhood and two failed marriages led her to change her name to that of one of her characters. Despite struggling with mental illness and heroin addiction for most of her life, she was still able to write fiction that was as powerful and memorable as any English female writer of the last 150 years.
From Library Journal
Kavan's 1967 hallucinogenic end-of-the-world novel follows two men's search for a girl as waves of ice threaten to destroy the planet.
